NEA Vice President: NRA, Second Amendment Supporters "Are Going to Hell"
NRA-ILA ^ | June 28, 2013 | NA

Posted on 07/12/2013 4:41:15 PM PDT by neverdem

Speaking to all 3,000 of the assembled "progressive activists" at this year's Netroots Nation conference, National Education Association vice president Lily Eskelsen Garcia boldly declared a "prophecy" about the eternal destiny of NRA and Second Amendment supporters, and of politicians and lobbyists working to promote gun rights: "I'm not an ordained minister; I'm not a theologian, but these guys are going to hell."

Wow. Going to hell for supporting the Second Amendment? That type of radical thinking might explain the very high incidence of ridiculous cases involving over-zealous school officials misinterpreting and wrongly enforcing "zero-tolerance" rules--and doing so without exercising even the smallest measure of sound judgment, discretion or basic common sense.

According to a Mercury News article, the high-ranking NEA officer went on to say, "We have to make those senators as frightened of us as they are of the gun lobby. Shame on us if we give one inch to the gun lobby. They got where they are because they never give up. ... Now the movement is us; we are the ones we were waiting for."

As we note on a near-weekly basis, all of us agree that we want our children to be safe at school, and that reasonable safety measures should be followed. But, when pressed, gun-control proponents and even President Obama's own administration will admit that the restrictions they are pushing won't make schools and students any safer.

Do they really think that criminals and madmen will now suddenly and willingly comply with "universal" background checks and modern sporting rifle bans, or that a magazine capacity limit would have stopped Adam Lanza? No, they don't. No "educated" person could.

gitmo ~:" I didn’t know the NEA was a religious organization." The only time NEA gets religious is when they have something to say to REAL RELIGIOUS organizations ! Other than that ,... they are atheists !

The only way to relate to NEA is to tell them that : #1)they are going to a spritiual gulag in Siberia , #2) they will have to live with Saul Alinsky's rules that they have imposed on others #3) that God loves them despite their intentional ,purposeful ignorance #4) that they are one of the 72 virigins promised to Muslims #5) that they can only eat pork , no veggies #6) they will be used and abused and their sexual organs will be sewn shut, so improvise ! #7) they will remain there until God says they can progress to Hell !

But there will be a special place in Heaven for all the liberal NEA supporters of abortion at any time and for any reason?

I'll stand with the gun owners.

I didn’t know the NEA was a religious organization.

They worship and suckle at the teat of the Almighty Mother in Washington.

Given that the name is “Lily”, I think this shrill harridan is nominally a “her”.

The NEA is the owner of the Democratic Party; they own them lock, stock & barrel. Obama is their paid representative.

Until people realize their perception of the relationship between the teachers’ unions and the Democrats is backwards, they will always be aiming at the wrong targets.

Dear Lily,
Unfortunately for you, if all the gun rights supporters
go to “hell”, who will be around to keep you from being
sent there too?

Think that won’t happen? Maybe you need a history lesson.
Oh you can bleat, “Arrested? Why me? I didn’t do anything.”
all you want, it won’t save you from the clutches of
those you put in power.

We will be laughing in hell and saving you a place.

“I’m not an ordained minister; I’m not a theologian, but these guys are going to hell.”

Liberals are happy to seize any component of reality and press it into support of The Agenda. The instant that what God really wants humanity to do or what God wants humanity to avoid doing (like coveting the wealth of others), the liberal will find some excuse to dismiss it.

God is not mocked by people who are happy to beat others over some aspects of Scripture while spitting on other aspects.

Romans 2:1

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

“Why are liberals always so angry?”

Because they operate solely on emotion. Logic and reason and objectivity are alien to them.

Jesus ordered disciples to bear arms. Yes it is true.

Read and commit to memory these important passages from the Apostles.

***********************************************************
38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Luke-Chapter-22/

***********************************************************

Jesus knew He would be taken prisoner. He ordered disciples to arm themselves, but not excessively. Why did he so order? Because His disciples would carry the Holy Spirit to all after His ascension into Heaven. Christ would have his disciples preserved to spread the gospel but not so heavily as to provoke.

The smiting of the guard’s ear and the intercession of peace by our Lord was enough to convince the high priests to stand back.

And then in James 18 we confirm the purpose:

***********************************************************
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.

2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/book.php?book=John&chapter=18&verse=

***********************************************************

Jesus, the two swords and the fight by Peter were enough to make the high priests settle for taking only Jesus and leaving the disciples to go free. It is understood the high priests and their temple guards were to take Jesus AND His disciples, but the swords and the intercession of our Lord made it otherwise.

“.. if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way...” referring to letting his disciples go free..

The purpose of the swords therefore was to:

DEFEND
CONTAIN
PRESERVE

God’s will.

And the purpose of the Second Amendment is exactly the same, because we know the Second Amendment is not a privilege, it is not a permission granted by government. It is a God-given right.

Here is what George Washington had to say about it:

“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.”

Of those 3,000 indoctrinators ( oops! “teachers) how many children of NRA members are sitting in their classrooms? Lots. I bet.

If the NRA is **really** serious about protecting the Second Amendment they would be calling for the complete shut down of our nation's system of socialist-entitlement and godless K-12 indoctrination camps ( oops! “schools). These godless and Marxist dominated brain pickling camps are hard at work making children fear gun and hate gun owners. And...These kids will eventually be voters.

:” I didn’t know the NEA was a religious organization.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Atheism is a religious worldview ( godless) that is based entirely on belief. ALL sentient humans are religious. They are either God-centered or godless in their worldview and all of it is based on belief. None of it can be proven.

Therefore......Government schools should be abolished. Government schools must also choose between either a godless or God-centered worldview. Neither of these two worldviews is neutral in content or consequences for the individual or for the nation. No one should be under police threat to pay for this NON-NEUTRAL religious indoctrination of our nation's children.
